Our local mountains within 30 minutes of downtown Vancouver are perfect for trying skiing/snowboarding and other winter sporting activities. Reasonable rates are offered for a family-friendly outing, minus the longer drive (2 hours north of Vancouver) to the more world-famous resort area of Whistler/Blackcomb.

A 2nd part to my previous constellation map, this time Spring & Summer - I decided to make this one brighter and full of stars. I always felt like the Summer skies were fuller of stars, but that could just be me :)

A good activity for kids during all of the World Cup action: Go Play Outside! Fancy equipment not needed ... use what you have. Cheer for any team you wish! (Yes, Canada did not qualify, but we are cheering anyways.)

One of my fondest memories was strolling in the gardens of Paris with my boyfriend at the time during our first date in Paris. I'm having a wedding celebration next month in Paris and wanted to share my love for the hidden gems often overlooked - Parks :). I'm excited to discover more beautiful parks and squares as I get lost in this wondrous city.
